I cannot stand even the thought of participating in something that entertains the notion of my "character" serving another God, or there being some sort of deity being glorified, such as in Guitar Hero III. My daughter has played GHIII, and I would not let her play it at all while hubby was gone because I just hate that! Am I being too serious? Does anyone else find this to be a big deal too?

It's just in Guitar Hero III as far as I know, though. :( I have a hard time with some of the lyrics too, though. If it was just the music I wouldn't have a problem, but listening to my 9 year old sing about adult heart matters... it gives me chills up my spine. Just not age appropriate, and certainly not the "cute" thing commercials try to portray that as being. I "grew up" way too fast though, so I might just be over protective.

I see ads for the "Kidz Bop" CDs, and it drives me crazy hearing kids not too much older than my Deborah singing songs like "Party Like a Rockstar", "I Don't Want To Be In Love", "Hate That I Love You", "Bleeding Love", "Cupid's Chokehold"... C'mon...let little kids BE little kids, huh?
